Ingredients

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup oil

Salad

  • 1/2 lb. fresh sugar snap peas
  • 6 cups mixed salad greens
  • 2 (9-oz.) pkg. frozen cooked chicken breast strips, thawed or 1 1/4 lb. cooked chicken (from deli), cut into strips
  • 4 radishes, sliced

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, combine chives, gingerroot, salt, pepper and mustard; mix well. Beat in orange juice and vinegar with wire whisk until blended. Gradually beat in oil until well blended.
  • 2
    Bring 1 quart water to a boil in medium saucepan. Add sugar snap peas; cook 1 minute. Drain; rinse with cold water to cool. Drain well.
  • 3
    Arrange mixed greens evenly on individual serving plates. Top each with chicken breast strips, sugar snap peas and radishes. Drizzle dressing over salads. Serve immediately.

  • Sugar snap peas have been developed so that the entire pea - pod and all - is edible.
  • For the most concentrated flavor, grate peeled ginger against the finest holes on a grater; collect and use the juices released during grating.
  • Boiling sugar snap peas briefly - a process called blanching - sets their vivid green color and makes them tender. Do not combine the peas with the dressing until just before serving; the acidic ingredients in the vinaigrette will dull the color of the peas.
